IPv6 addressed still can and do change. Shared IPv4 over NAT creates lots of problems, hindering direct connections, which you do want for, say, video calls, large file transfers or hosting your own stuff. All of that helps big corps retain their control over you.

Even though I'm a traffic billionaire, I consider a VPN to be wasteful :)

PeerTube is a cool project, but there is an issue: it exposes peer IP addresses to everyone. One of the most concerning trends in the modern world is the prevalence of IPv6, which has the potential to serve as an ID for everyone and every device. In comparison to the future that seems to be approaching, shared IPv4 over NAT would be a good old friend.
